problem with symbol

Hi!

I use fop 0.20.5 on a Linux machine.

I try to use a triangle symbol from ZapfDingbats.

My XSL looks like:
 ...
 <fo:inline
   font-family="ZapfDingbats"
   text-decoration="none"
   font-weight="normal">
   <xsl:text>&#x25B7;</xsl:text>
 </fo:inline>
 ...

But I only get the U+2503 scissor.
U+2023 or U+25B6 have the same result.

Black circle U+25CF works.

The following HTML page gives me the character I want (Firefox).
I conclude the character exists on my machine (but I'm not sure
it's in the ZapfDingbats font).
 <body>
 <p>&#9655;</p>
 </body>

Any hint?

Thanks.
Benoit

The standard PDF ZapfDingbats font apparently doesn't have a glyph
for U+25B7. Though luck.
Available glyphs are in  src/codegen/glyphlist.xml.

Thanks for your answers.
I managed to get what I wanted with SVG, since I only need a triangle.
It's not very smart, but it works.

BTW, I now use fop-0.90alpha1 with success (for having keep-with-next
in inline). The only drawback is that I lost small capitals. Not a big
issue for me.

Many thanks to fop developpers.
